Every single person mentioned in this scene is now dead. The last Easy Company veteran died in July 2022. RIP to all of you

[jsudlow]

These men were postal workers, cab drivers, school administrators and construction workers, yet wen the time came they stepped up and became hero’s

[HarryOKane-otyh]

'And there is not a day that goes by when I do not think about the men I served with who never got to enjoy the world without war.' Brilliant line.

[calebgaddi]

Added tidbit. Most actors in this series still in contact with each other to this day. The bond between the real Band of Brothers is so overflowing that it spilled over to the actors that played them.

Thank you for your service.

[georgebardsley]

I’m not surprised George had such a large number of people at his funeral. Must have been heartbreaking to know a man like that passed

[shutup]

damian lewis is english but played that role to perfection

[wsprjjk]

When I was a kid, there was a friend of my families who served in the 101st during WW II, was wounded twice, once at D-day in the jump, and another at Market Garden. He was a kind caring, and soft spoken man who dispensed good natured wisdom. I remember being with him one day, he was in his 80s, when we saw some 30 year old wearing swastikas and shouting nazi garbage. Without a word, this 80 year old veteran who I never saw utter a harsh word, walked right up to this asshole, and with one punch knocked him out. He told me, "I was wounded twice fighting that shit, I will be damned if I stop now"

[mattboesch]

hearing that Lewis Nixon finally found happiness after dealing with some shit was awesome to hear.

[dmc]

I always shed a tear at the ending, Rest In Peace Easy Company.

[US_ARMY__INF._DIV.]

My father Gordon served for 3 years in the South Pacific in the Navy after he had enlisted at 17 years old....He bought the whole series of BOB and would watch it maybe twice a year on loved it very much....He passed at 92 in 2017....He was the best part of the Greatest Generation and was my Hero and best miss him every day and at one point after his passing I made him a promise to live my best life every day and be a good man to honor all he and my mother did for me....I will not break that promise....I love you Dad....

[robertdurant-jlbf]

"The war is over."

How do you process those words as a soldier that fought in that war and not break down in tears?

[lewisscott]

I watch band of brothers once a year. Honestly keep me grounded and keeps me respectful of all around me. Can you imagine having this news after all the fighting and death these guys saw?! When we have a ‘hard day’ we need to remember that these men and women who fight within the armed forces have hard days.

[Mike]

One of the most poignant moments of TV history. Absolutely perfect.

[yp]

This scene always hits me hard. The entirety of the series takes place chronologically beginning with boot camp and the men of Easy already together. Throughout the 10 full episodes it's difficult to associate these men as distinct individuals. We think of each of them as soldiers, part of the fabric of the Company.

Only in this last scene are we presented with a macro perspective and the lives of each men beyond that of soldiers. Cab drivers, factory executives, handymen... otherwise ordinary jobs that seem out of place when contrasted against the setting of war and combat. In a short clip of 5 mins, you are reminded that in spite of D-day plus 434 seeming an eternity, put in perspective its only a fraction of the 70-80+ other years that these guys lived as ordinary men.

In particular: in very last line of the series, Winters reveals that he found "a little farm, a little peaceful corner of the world" where he lives today. This is the fulfilment of the promise he made himself earlier in the series (last scene of Ep.2 Days of Days) that if he somehow were to survive the war, he would "find a quiet piece of land someplace, and spend the rest of my life in peace". Really ties the past, present and future altogether in a perfect ending.

[liamt]

I've watched this show so many times and I always cry at this scene. Amazing Story.

[joeboy]

Most of these guys lived such different lives after the war, so interesting.

[decoeric]

I have watched this series countless times and for some reason when Major Winters says the line "The War is over" it hits me hard. My father was a WWII vet and I think of him every time. He was a medic in the European theater.

[charliebecker]

Can’t believe it’s been 20 years since band of brothers can’t out. Great Men, series, acting and story telling

[johnbroadway]

" I never got to enjoy the world without War.". That line says so much for so many that have fought. God Bless them all.
